to study and read, and forest ex

. , , iiKe ivuss uoroiny luarun, once
a New England school teacher, now
a newswriter in Forest Service's
information office here.
During the war from May to
November of 1943 and '44 she
was a lone lookout on Mt. Peqauw
ket in the White Mountains of New
Hampshire. "I had been a school other chores. Like
she told me.
" "I found it. all right." she add
t:d. "I reached it by climbing a
three-mile trail up-hill. It was all
walking, no riding, and I had to
carry all my own food."
Miss Martin had been teaching
English and social sciences in the
Center Sandwich, N. H., high
school when she saw an ad asking
for a "woman to man a lookout
tower."
"They say some lookouts take the
job so they can finish a master's
read or knit. I don't know
when they find time. You have to
look for signs of a fire every 20
minutes until sundown. If you give
a nice thorough look, following
trails and streams and sighting
camping areas and such, it takes a
good half hour.
Besides. Miss Martin had many
most lookouts,
teacher and I had an urge to get j she had to do her own cooking and
to a very high place to be alone," chop her own wood, and she had
no electricity
"I learned how to wash clothes,
dishes and myself in about one cup
of water, dress early in the morn
ing, when there were no people
likely to be around, and show lit
tle campers who came' a-visiting
what a lookout did whin he or she
was looking," she added.
There were few fires In her
mountains. Miss Martin says, and
Ihey were all small. Her most excit
ing experiences were out-staring a
moose and preparing a blueberry
pie too big to get into her tiny
"gold fish bowl" cabin stove.

Meet 1'3 Paradise Bird
With Twin-Feathered Tail
, U. S. ornithologists have the un
usual opportunity of studying at
home two spt'clcien of the rare
ribbon-tailpd birdv of paradise, a
spectacular creature with a trailing
twin-feathered tail some three time
the length of Its body,
The first ribborVtall ever to reich
this country arrived not lohtf go
in the rich haul of the scientific ft
pidit!on to Australia's 'primiUvf
Afnhem Land sponsored by the Ma
tioria Gtographle society, the!
Smithsonian institution, and the
Australian government.
The ribjon-tail. or Astrapla may
eri, lives only in the high Mt. Ha.tcrt
district of east-central New Guinea.
Black, with iridescent blulsh-gruen
cap and throat, and short beak
topped by feather pompon, it la a
striking sight trailing two feet and
more of white feathers through the
deep forests.
Before the remote island regbn
of New Guinea became accessible
by planp., following establishment of
landing fields used In World War II,
none of tlie ribbon-tails had been
seen alive outside the homeland.
It was as recently as 1935 that n
Australian patrol officer saw flitting
about his more than p,000-foot camp
an unfamiliar bird of paradise,
wearing a long ivory-colored train.
A few years later, the odd tail feath-t-s.
minus the bird, were noticed
tn the headdress of New Guinea
natives by a collector working fr
the London zoo.
The ribbon-tail' Is 'still the latent
to be added to the 40 or so species of
the bird of. paradise family. .Orni
thologists say it probably will be
the last. The uplands where the
white-toiled birds are found offered
about 'the only uninvestigated terri
tory of. the home of paradise birds
in New Guinea, its offshore' island J.
and northeast Australia.

Increasot! Cotton Profits
Traced to Insecticides
Tests In which higher cotton
yields and greater profits have been
gained through an effective insect
control program prove that money
srent for insecticides is a wise in
vestment, . the National Cotton
ctuncil reports.
Cited . as an example w8v. the
yield of 700 pounds ,f -lint ,colVi
pef acre last year on a Mississippi
plantation even though surround
ing fields were devastated by boll
weevil. Although the cost of 10 to
12 applications of poison amounted
to $18.80 per acre, this 2000-acre
operation proved to be a profit
able venture .at a timcVien many
farmers in the area suffered seri
ous losses from cotton pests. In
Mississippi last year cotton insects
reduced the state yield an esti
mated 23 per cent and inflicted
damage set at $124,057,350.
Plots dusted for weevil control
in one set of experiments in Ar
kansas lust year produced an av
erage of 1504 pounds of seed cotton
to the acre. At the same time UK
dusted plots produced only 345
pounds.
The Alabama extension service
points out that on unpoisoncd plots
the seed cotton yield was 650 pounds
per acre. V.'hen application of in
secticides was made, yields ranged
as high as 100') pounds per acre.
The average -gain tn'yicM as a re
sult of insect control mcasurca
amounted to an increase of ap
proximately $44 per acre in gross
income.

Coileciing of Autographs
0-,tes Back to Antiquity
Maybe no really "hep" bobby
soxer would be without an auto
graph boolt on fhe chnce of a
meeting with Montgomery Clift or
Ciry Giant, but we have it on re
liable authority that autograph col
lecting is about as modern as a
Roman toga.
Collecting signatures Is a "long
hair" pursuit that dates even
farther back in history than the
heydays of Mom and Dad.
This deflating tidbit comes from
the Childcraft reference library,
which reports that "With kindest
regards, Sophocles" might very
well have been inscribed in the
papyrus autograph scroll of some
ardent. Jan Jn..about..400.B.C..
Earliest mention of the hobby is
in the writings of Pliny the Elder
(23-79 A. D.), who tells of seeinga
collection of autographs of famous
men who lived two centuries be
fore; but wje also know that the
ancient Egyptians had autograph
fever. One of the Ptolemies who
ruled Egypt in the period 323 to
30 B. C. is said to have offered a
large amount of wheat to be per
mitted to copy the manuscripts of
Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euri
pides. With people busily collecting
autographs down through the ages,
there are comparatively few speci
mens dating from recent centuries
that are considered rare or ex
tremely valuable. For example, a
Washington or a Lincoln letter that
does not refer to an historical event
can be purchased for around $100
If bobby-soxers hound them for
autographs, today's celebrities can
attribute it to sheer devotion. The
autographs of many motion picture
and atage stars, athletes, singers",
and vTfTterj nave. "very little' VaIUe7
